That said, half of the eastbound SQ flights tonight from Europe (ex-MAN, LHR, CPH, AMS, and DME) to Singapore are routing via Russia/Mongolia/China -- possibly because the remaining route via Persia is now saturated.Last edited by Bitterroot; 23 June 2019, 03:20 AM.

I think by the time the RSAF had made arrangements to shoot down the drone (like suspending runway operations and clearing the airspace), it had already disappeared.
Or they could have already shot it down, but Changi still needs to recover from the disruption. The RSAF probably won't tip their hand.an infrastructure geek

It's about time CAAS does more than strengthening regulations and fines to battle the scourge of drones. A single episode like this could have costs thousands, if not millions of dollars to airlines and wreaked havoc on thousands of travellers plans.
One thing I personally feel is worth a try is to consider Paya Lebar airport as the primary diversion airport, weather permitting, in times like this. Transporting the passengers by bus could be considered if delays are taking longer than expected. A multi level government involvement would be required as immigration and transportation issues would have to be ironed out. Just find it ridiculous that a number of SQ planes diverted to Batam when we have an airport capable of accomodating them a few miles away.
Another idea worth exploring is to install drone jammer antennas on masts on either end of the runways. Studies would have to be conducted if they interfere with the aircraft systems before they are installed.
Drones have been causing issues in airports like Dubai and Gatwick the past few years and feel CAAS could have been proactive and anticipated this rather been caught unprepared as it is now.
